Located in my bedroom is my modern butsudan. A traditional butsudan is a shrine commonly found in temples and homes in Japanese Buddhist cultures. My grandmothers both had very traditional ones and for most of my childhood, my parents had photos of their fathers who had passed on their dressers.
💜
Mine is on my vanity table where I get ready each morning and evening. It helps me remember my grandparents when I go to bed and when I'm waking up. I know it may sound silly, but sometimes if I have a big event or if there's something I'm nervous about, I spend more time with them and ask them to wish me luck. Just that ritual in itself - a little chat with my grandparents - makes me feel connected to them and reminds me of where I came from.
🙏
The candle you see under the photos is a prototype for an exciting new project I'm working on with healer and hospice nurse @fordeonfire. Stay tuned!

Repurposing old frames to create new art in my home! Art can add a huge impact to your walls. Haven't had the opportunity to paint the walls yet but am enjoying the small additions to my space.
Here I have create art on glass frames using mixed mediums of oil & acrylic on glass. The pictures does them no justice but I love how they turned out!
